Women in the Lead - NOW-NY's Annual State Conference 2019
Event Information
Description
We are just one year away from the most consequential presidential election of our lifetimes, and we need you to join us. In 2016, women took the lead in launching a new grassroots resistance. Join the National Organization for Women in an energizing day of learning and action where we will unite to defend women's rights, mobilize new voices, and kick-off a bold action plan for 2020.
NOW New York is mobilizing women leaders and voters across our state, and we are taking action to defend reproductive healthcare, strengthen anti-violence and gun safety laws, amplify survivor voices, and elect a feminist president in 2020.
Join us! Hear from women leaders and learn from social justice organizers to reinvigorate your activism for the year ahead. We'll have workshops throughout the day. Lunch and refreshments are included.
